vv'This 'invention relates .to improvemfnts in'boxes "andmore.especially"toa bQX `adapted for Containing broaches., drills,probes, burrsfand the like, suchVv a'sffare used,LV for example, ,bydentistsmMy"y irn.4 pro-ved box canbeeasily and icheaplynia'de and isneatin appearance. Itis, also con-i structed Yso that broaches orotherin'struments contained in it vwill beclampedand securely `held inplace.` `The box is also,- provided'with an opening sothat the num'- ber and sizes of broaches orl otherinstru-k ments in the box be visiblewithout rey, Vmoving the cover. Otherfeatnres and advantag'esof myinvention vwille appear more fully as lproceed withmylsjpecification. Y

.In that `formof device embodying'thek. featuresof myinvention shown inthe acf Compelling drawings; Figure' l 'iS View inperspe'ctive ofthebox, Fig.V 2 is a view in perspectivel of the underside of Ythev boxshowing the. opening therein, Fig lis V`a View. in perspective kof Ithebox Y showing .the .coverremoved-,'and Fig. 4 isfa top ,plan vView-o-Jfy a blank' from whichVi the boxfis formed., v j f 4Asy shown in thedrawings,`- 10 indicates in general a blankfstamped-,jcnt orfotherwiseformed `out of 'any' suitable. material such assheet metal, from whichthel box isforined.V It will be noted that this blank comprises a mainrectangular part `1-1having a short rectangular' projection 12 at oneend and a long rectangular projection 13 at theoppo- Y' site end. Thebroken lines indicate the lines upon which the material is bent informing the box. The part 11 has two extensions` at its sides indicatedby 14 and 15 respectively. .In forming the box, the side projections 14and 15 are bent up to a vertical position on the lines 14: and 15 inorder to form'the sides of the box. Therectangular partll 5@ forms thebottom of the box.` Thev shortA projection 12 is bent up to a verticalposi-" tion on Vthe line 12 to form one end of the box. Y The long end,of the Y rejection 13 'is used to form one ex and.k also to formclamping Hnotches 203-1` u yon the underside. y `opening up of thetongue 200 leaves a Vrectangular opening 208 across the bottom v lega.serial No. 17,572,533.Y 1
